Yes, he'll do that.

I know cats don't "think they're human", but I do wonder what cats
(and dogs) think their relationship really is. with us. Though cats
(according to George Carlin) pretty much say "f**k you I'm a cat",
they do know and acknowledge that they need us by begging if they're
hungry, and meowing for various things here and there. When my
littlest cat Aster sits on me and purrs, and rubs against me, she
seems to regard me like a father, I feel. When the middle cat,
Ezmerelda, does that with my wife, it still feels like the cat thinks
she's the boss. If you have cats maybe you know what I mean.

Once the little cat meows (or does the "Figure 8's") for food and gets
it she will continue to do Figure 8's and meow like she's saying
thanks. She pretty much regards me as the master. But Ezzie once she
gets fed gives me a look like "yeah you BETTER feed me, bi**h" or
"It's about time". She turns on me, LOL. I haven't done anything to
TRY to make the cats view me different, they just have VASTLY
different personalities. Once I saw that Aster clung to me, then I
decided to run with it of course!! Again, if you have cats I think
you get it.

Do cats pretend they are people?

Yes, mine is determined to learn to talk -- and works at it whenever
she wants something. I believe evolution will bring about speech for
cats.

Clearly you've never lived closely with a cat! (A cat's
reasoning powers often appear to exceed those of some people -
including yours, evidently.)

Hopefully you don't use the illusion that cats are as smart or
smarter than humans to justify losing your temper and beating
your cat when it does something wrong, because "it knew better".

A) I don't ever "lose my temper " with my cats!

Could be, but I wouldn't expect you to admit it if you regularly do.

C) Why would I "beat" a cat, in any case? (Or a child, for that
matter?)

Your problem is not uncommon, treating a cat like a child, leading
to a seriously warped relationship. A child constantly develops and
grows into adult human beings, a cat is a mentally and physically
mature animal.

D) A propos the subject of feline intelligence, you prove my
point that the intellect of the average cat exceeds that of some
humans.

Whatever you say, troll.

Time to go see how the not quite grown up troll is doing in her new
trolling grounds (the cooking group, unless she's moved on from
there).

Mark, you're a bit late with this.

Speaking of pots and kettles! Only a really idiot would try to revive a
dispute a month after the last previous post! (P-L-O-N-K!)
